[@petecartwright5211]

True story. It was a few years ago, but I was on my way to SW Colorado and out in the desert south of Holbrook, AZ. I was alone and had been drinking coffee so I needed to stop. There is nothing out there, at all, and I think it may have been on the Navajo Reservation. It's beautiful. There wasn't a soul around for miles and I felt just fine pulling over and relieving my full bladder in the ditch next to the road. I was happily feeling relief when a heard the craziest noise from behind. I looked and couldn't see anything but I could sure hear something. It started as sort of a distant whistle that grew louder and louder. I'm still in the middle of trying to do business but I'd never heard such a racket. And it got louder. Now, I'm trying to zip up and at least get back in my car. I was back inside my pants but still zipping when a B-52 materialized from behind a mesa and he wasn't 100 feet off the ground, and he was hauling ass, too. I remember just staring in disbelief at this monstrous aircraft that was so close I could see the yellow on the pilot's helmet. I'll never forget, he looked right at me for a few seconds, too. God Bless America

[@jf7243]

Haha, funny story, that would make you close your bladder in a blooming hurry. Just monsters close up the B52!

[@ThePaulv12]

Story not quite as good as yours, but I saw one quite low with gear up and no flap out at under 500'AGL going fast - perhaps +250KIAS and banking well over 30deg and I remember thinking they're actually not that large. This was about 8 years ago. It was far quieter than I expected too but that would be engine upgrades to keep them flying. They were throwing it around too - it was great to see. It was perhaps 20nm from an upcoming airshow that started on the weekend and it was a Tuesday afternoon. The area was over farmland with a lonely country road running through the area. I was the only truck on the road and I couldn't believe my luck as I go a free show.

[@petecartwright5211]

@@jf7243 It was the LAST thing I would have expected to see in the middle of the high desert. There is NOTHING out there. It is as desolate as the surface of the moon. I didn't really expound on how low they were or how fast they were going. Honest to God, if you had been under the thing it would have given you the perfect flattop haircut he was flying so low. Fast too... I found out later, (I spotted them on another trip as well), that there was some targeting point in/around Holbrook, and haircut flights by B-52s were a regular thing. I'm not Joe America, but it gave me a rush of powerful pride you can't experience any other way. They flew that big-ass jet in and around high-desert mesa's and pipes at just a few hundred feet off the ground. I honestly didn't know they could operate at such a low altitude. The second time I spotted them, (there were 2), was almost as impressive but I wasn't surprised by it.

[@petecartwright5211]

I was in Phoenix when the World Series was there and was walking to a neighbor's house. I was out in the street when I heard a jet sound and it was close. Too close. I frantically looked around the sky but there were a lot of trees that blocked some of my views. Like before, I had no idea what was up and my thinking was escalating to a plane crash in my neighborhood because It got loud. I was alone and in the middle of the street as the "brand-new" and still fairly classified B-2 bomber flew directly over my head on a low-altitude base turn to fly over the ball stadium for the anthem. It rumbled right over me so close I could see painted warnings on panels. Seeing those things usually means serious business is on the way and they ARE like a Darth Vader of aircraft. Interesting side note: It flew past and then turned for the stadium and when it did, it was almost impossible to see.

Totally amazing how something conceived in the 50s is still being used today over 60 yrs later!!!!

[@Brian-om2hh]

The B52 you see today just looks the same as the first versions, but that's where it ends. Everything has been upgraded and evolved. Airframe, engines, avionics, weapons capability etc.... The RAF's Vulcan was the holder of the longest distance flown during a bombing raid, when the RAF bombed Port Stanley Airfield in the Falklands, 8000 miles from Britain, but these guys topped that, by flying from the US to bomb in (I think) Afghanistan, returning afterwards to their base in the US. A distance of around 15'000 miles flown, non stop.

[@vallorahn]

@@Brian-om2hh I wouldn't say that the engines are updated much. See all the black smoke? there is much improvement overhead.

[@krashd]

@@Brian-om2hh Flying a 15,000 mile round trip for a single bombing run is utterly wasteful, you would think they would at least have landed nearby for more ordnance or in case they would be required again, but to just return directly to the states... that was clearly just the wet dream of some air force brass who wanted prestige for his squadron by breaking the record or showing off his planes. If the RAF pissed taxpayer money up the wall like that they would never hear the end of it.

The first generation of B-52 aircraft started April 1952. This B-52 is the result of thousands of upgrades and modifications. Too late to fly in the Korean War. Starting in Vietnam through the Cold War, Dessert Storm War to free Kuwait then all throughout the Global War on Terror. The B-52 was engineered for arial bombing of the Soviet Union doing the Cold War days. Now once again prepared to go to Russia. The original pilots of the B-52 are now flown by the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the founding pilots from 1954. Remember the B-52's you see are nowhere near similar to the B-52's of 1954. Check out the movie called "Dr Strangelove: How I learned to love the bomb." Remember the last scene as a nuclear bomb is released. Yee-haw! The last scene. Plenty of movie scenes of the B-52.

Hope i can look that good when i am 75.. not that good.

The B-52 could never get through Russian air defenses today. Their role is to loiter outside missile range and serve as cruise missile dispensers.

The XB-52 the copilot sat behind the pilot like the B-47. General Curtis Lamay wanted side by side seating.

My God but they are incredibly dirty compared to more modern planes and engines! Should think they'll be highly visible!

[@denali9449]

They only smoke at takeoff.
